Curtis and Floyd Face Business Drama and Rekindle Their Friendship on 'House of Payne'
The latest episode of House of Payne dives into Curtis and Floyd’s ongoing friendship and business drama. Curtis gets an unexpected call from a TV producer who’s heard about his Sauce Boss brand and wants him to appear on her show. The premise? It’s a business-pitch series for investors—think Shark Tank. Here’s the twist: the producer insists Floyd must be on the show, too. Apparently, business partners make for better TV. The problem? Curtis and Floyd are no longer cool—or business partners.
Ella, ever the voice of reason, tells Curtis this could be a life-changing opportunity for their family, even their grandkids. She encourages him to patch things up with Floyd. Curtis begrudgingly agrees and invites Floyd over. While he doesn’t exactly apologize, they decide to go on the show together. Floyd, enticed by the potential money, is fine pretending everything is fine for now.
Meanwhile, Jazmine invites Miranda to the club, where her high school ex—now a famous DJ—will be spinning. Jazmine casually mentions that the same DJ will also perform at Calvin’s wedding, and Miranda perks up at this detail. It becomes obvious she’s a little too invested in Calvin and Laura’s wedding plans. Eventually, she confesses to CJ that she’s bothered. Miranda feels like she helped Calvin get his life together, only for someone else to reap the benefits.
And then Calvin conveniently shows up with wedding invites for everyone, stirring Miranda’s emotions even more. To distract herself, she heads to the club with Jazmine. But here’s the kicker: Calvin confides in CJ that while he loves Laura, he still has feelings for Miranda.
Later, when Miranda and Jazmine return from the club, Miranda crosses paths with Calvin, who’s chilling solo on the couch. They have a heart-to-heart and seemingly make peace with the fact that they’re moving on with their lives. However, it’s clear Calvin has something more he wants to say but holds back. For now, he’s focused on moving forward with Laura—but we’ll see how long that lasts.
Back to Curtis and Floyd. The duo manages to make nice long enough to appear on the show, where their pitch goes so well it sparks a bidding war among the investors. But just as things are looking up, their old issues resurface. Unable to agree on which investor to choose, they start arguing—prompting all the investors to pull their offers. Ironically, the fiasco rekindles their friendship for real this time. The episode ends with Curtis and Floyd as genuine friends and partners once again.
